TODDLER CHOPPED SALAD FOR TODDLERS WHO HATE SALAD



Toddler Chopped Salad for Toddlers Who Hate Salad image

Tonight was salad night in our house. Of course, with a 20-month old, that makes it tough to have the whole family involved. On a whim, I decided to let my daughter try the salad I was eating. She LOVED it! So, I gave her a couple tablespoons of mine. She scarfed that down and wanted more. Off to the kitchen I went to make her own salad for her. Now, my daughter is a picky eater, believe it or not. Since I started making recipes from this website, she's gotten quite adventurous, I must say. Anyway, she ate half of this recipe tonight in addition to the tastes she had from my salad. I'm still in shock. :D I hope your toddler likes this one as much as mine does.

  • Make salad fun and engaging for toddlers. Use colorful ingredients, cut them into fun shapes, and serve them in a playful way. You can also let toddlers help you make the salad, which will make them more likely to try it.

  • Be patient. It may take some time for toddlers to learn to like salad. Just keep offering it to them and eventually, they will come around.
